My Best Photographs # 2

Dogs and cats always fascinate me. It is something which runs in my family. We had two German shepherds, one poodle, one Doberman and finally two Daschunds. My parents loved them so much that they use to make us jealous. Anyway, we were given the invaluable lesson in life that dogs and cats can be trusted more than a human being. My parents after the death of the daschunds stopped looking after dogs. They simply refused to buy a new puppy after that – the reason cited was that they cannot bear the pain caused by their death. I salute my parents for these Maneka Gandhi like thoughts. After some time months, since they were no dogs in our house, cats started visiting our house and they easily befriended my parents. I think they are there to stay. So this one in the photograph is named as ‘kuttapan’ which can be roughly translated into English as the smart one. Last night I heard from my Mom that Kuttapan got killed and was taken away my some street dog. The pain continues…
